Plagioscion
''Plagioscion'' is a genus of hardheads, ray-finned fish in the family Sciaenidae. They are found in tropical and subtropical South America where they inhabit fresh and brackish waters. Some species (notably ''P. squamosissimus'' and ''P. surinamensis'') are important food fish and support major fisheries. Depending on the exact species, they reach up to about in length. In general, the various species are similar and are not easily separated by meristics or colour. ''Plagioscion'' sometimes occur in schools. They are predators and the adults are essentially piscivorous. The largest in the genus, ''P. squamosissimus'', mainly feeds on fish smaller than , but may take ones up to about 60% of the length of the ''Plagioscion'' itself. Although the family Sciaenidae primarily is marine, there are four genera with freshwater species in South America. In addition to ''Plagioscion'', this is '' Pachypops'', '' Pachyurus'' and '' Petilipinnis''. Species FishBase currently recogniz ...

Sciaenidae
Sciaenidae are a family of fish in the order Acanthuriformes. They are commonly called drums or croakers in reference to the repetitive throbbing or drumming sounds they make. The family consists of about 286 to 298 species in about 66 to 70 genera. Characteristics A sciaenid has a long dorsal fin reaching nearly to the tail, and a notch between the rays and spines of the dorsal, although the two parts are actually separate. Drums are somberly coloured, usually in shades of brown, with a lateral line on each side that extends to the tip of the caudal fin. The anal fin usually has two spines, while the dorsal fins are deeply notched or separate. Most species have a rounded or pointed caudal fin. The mouth is set low and is usually inferior. Their croaking mechanism involves the beating of abdominal muscles against the swim bladder. Sciaenids are found worldwide, in both fresh and salt water, and are typically benthic carnivores, feeding on invertebrates and smaller fish. The ...

Over 1.5 million Extant taxon, living animal species have been Species description, described—of which around 1 million are Insecta, insects—but it has been estimated there are over 7 million animal species in total. Animals range in length from to . They have Ecology, complex interactions with each other and their environments, forming intricate food webs. The scientific study of animals is known as zoology.
